Mayor’s Resilience Fund

25 November 2020

What was the Mayor’s Resilience Fund?

The Resilience Fund was Mayor Sadiq Khan’s £1 million innovation programme to support London’s businesses and community groups to emerge stronger from the coronavirus crisis, and to ensure the capital is better prepared for future disruptive challenges.

As the first step in delivering the fund, we worked with the Mayor of London to develop a series of open innovation competitions based around specific challenges in London.

We selected up to ten organisations to be Resilience Partners and worked with them to create an open innovation competition to solve their problem, by inviting innovators to design, test and scale creative, impactful solutions.
